Lowering E320 Cabriolet

I have a "95 E320 Cabrolet I am thinking of lowering once I put a 17inch wheel on it. Do I change the Springs and the Shock/struts or just the Springs?
Which is a better spring, Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set or H&R Sport Spring Set. Please advice?

The short version of answers.
Go with Eibach Pro-kit springs, combined with Bilstein Sport shocks.
The Eibach's are a little more compliant & Bilstein recommends the Sport shocks for vehicles lowered more than 1".

H&R + Bilstein sport is a great combo, or go with H&R or eibach and Koni Adjustables.

Ok here is my .02 dont forget that baby has self leveling suspension in the rear. It will need some adjusting after the new springs are installed.


Oops, I could be wrong so check it out and see.


GSXR,

Are you here?

I have a 1994 e320 Cabriolet and was told that it did not have the self leveling suspension. Can anyone confirm this?

If the car does have the self leveling suspension, is there an accumulator that can go bad? Where do I add the hydraulic fluid? Do I need to bleed the air from time to time?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
